Using Jack I was able to daisy-chain the two together to get 24in/12out. For $1300 (refurb) the preamps on that Mackie sound awesome. It's also possible to string together three FP10s to do basically the same thing (just more outputs). It's a perfect set up for mobile live-to-multitrack if you're into that sort of thing.<br><br>Grant<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><br></font>On Dec 18, 2009, at 12:33 AM, Jonathan Stowe wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">Hi,<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">On Thu, 2009-12-17 at 13:13 -0800, Glarbl_Blarbl wrote:<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">I've had good luck with the Presonus FP10 firewire I/O, it's 8/8<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">analog with an insert on ch 1&2 and spdif i/o as well -- runs up to<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">96kHz/24b.
